If sufficient information existed, draft criteria for downlisting (changing status from endangered to threatened) and/or delisting (removing a threatened or endangered species from the state list) are described. If such information was lacking, the review describes additional monitoring or research needs.

For species also listed as threatened or endangered on the federal level under the Endangered Species Act, separate state recovery goals were not drafted. For those, GFP will continue cooperating with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to meet identified recovery goals.
